If every student who violated a school rule was tossed there would not be to many football teams would there?</p>Scott A commented on 'Supporters Rally Behind Kentucky Student'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef00d83484563153ef2006-04-20T15:42:33Z2007-04-26T07:31:26ZScott AAlright, I think it's good to protest for positive change but...

Since the it is planned the University will get $11 million in funding for a pharmacy school, they should be subject to scrutiney. And like Jamie said, it was a show of support for Jason and we felt it was wrong for the university to expell him for being gay. Not all Christians believe discriminating against gays is a Christian principle. There was a pastor at the rally/protest as well that spoke out against the school.</p>
<p>The number of police officers there was amazing, to me. We saw a number of cars pass by with possible counter-protesters, but we think they decided not to stick around because of the police force who were on our side. There was a rumor of a group that was supposed to come with threats of violence, which is probably why there were so many cops there.</p>
<p>There was a stray puppy there, too. He was adorable!</p>Jamie commented on 'Supporters Rally Behind Kentucky Student'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef00d83484520953ef2006-04-20T14:46:46Z2007-04-26T07:30:54ZJamieBecause they're protesting the fact that it's intolerant, not that the university doesn't have a right to do it.

<p>Also, I think they&#39;re receiving federal funding or something, so they don&#39;t even really have a right. </p>Scott A commented on 'Supporters Rally Behind Kentucky Student'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef00d834844d3c53ef2006-04-20T14:01:33Z2007-04-26T07:30:19ZScott AOnce again, if it's a religious university with a policy against homosexuals, then why would you attend it?

And, if after the fact, why would you protest intolerance and discrimination when it is already a given? They are a private university, they have the right to do this, irregardless of how intolerant it is. So, why the protest?</p>Mike in the Tundra commented on 'Supporters Rally Behind Kentucky Student'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef00d8348449ef53ef2006-04-20T13:21:11Z2007-04-26T07:29:54ZMike in the TundraIt always amazes me how un-Christian Christians can be.

I had an United Methodist congregation throw me out and refused to talk to me about it. I hope the Kentucky governor does the right thing.<br />
